Personal office use outside of your own home for conference calls, recording content, interviewing virtually and more.

If you are in the market for a quiet space that has access to internet, privacy, space to sprawl out, and some nearby dining options, look no further. Spaces like these have become ever more necessary as kids are learning from home, partners are working remote, and the dog feels the need to bark at every passerby. Whether you are looking for a space just for yourself, a space to stream or create content, or a single day workspace for your small team, Greater St. Cloud has a variety of opportunities. Apiary Coworking offers “modern workspace for the busy bee” if you want an office setting, The Studio offers flexible pay-by-the-hour space that accommodates small groups, workshops, dance/movement classes, and offers a unique backdrop. Plus, don’t overlook the beautiful lodging suites like those at Residence’s Inn by Marriott, Fairfield Inn & Suites, Courtyard by Marriott, or board rooms at Hilton Garden Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Best Western Plus Kelly Inn to name a few. With so many more options in our area, let us help you find your perfect match! 

 

 

 

 

 

A space that you can use to live stream or record your events while allowing for social distancing with speakers/presenters on site.

Doorbell rings, dogs barking, kids coming home, laundry to do, and a thousand other distractions make trying to stream a virtual event from home impossible. Take the stress off and use area meeting spaces to facilitate your virtual needs at options like Courtyard By Marriott, Holiday Inn, or Residence’s Inn. Meeting spaces will also accommodate any speakers or presenters you wish to have onsite to make your planning easier. With lodging and amenities right on property (like the Green Mill Restaurant, attached to Best Western Plus Kelly Inn), your presenters will be able to attend with ease and nobody will have to worry about cleaning their homes. In fact, if you take advantage of pre-recording sessions, setting up early, and the ease of a quiet environment, you might find yourself with some extra time for room service or exploring the town. There are many advantages of having a dedicated facility for recording/streaming your event with your presenters onsite and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Allow us to play matchmaker and connect you with the venues that will fit your needs best.

Meetings in person, as we have done successfully over the years… but with some new things in mind. 

Hosting events in person is going to feel a lot like meeting up with a long lost friend you haven’t seen in a while. You might feel nervous, not sure what to wear, perhaps even a little insecure. But when you set a date and a location, you will start to get excited about the thought of seeing them again. Perhaps you will need a little extra encouragement from a friend and a few pointers along the way, but in the end, you will be glad you did. Let Visit Greater St. Cloud and our facilities be your friends in the planning process to make recommendations on additional facility needs, crowd management tips, food and beverage alternatives, interactive activities, and to make sure you are looking your best. River’s Edge Convention Center, with 150,000 square feet of meeting space and The Park Event Center with 15,000 are our largest venues that are ready to get you back on your feet.  

 

Okay, lets do this!
